"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

and business relationship’s am a widow, who live in BURKINA FASO now. I have

a daughter who is the joy of my life.

unfortunately in a war IN ABIJAN Before the sudden death of my beloved husband

and father of my daughter, he intended to establish a business in Europe with

the sum of $17 million United States dollars, but unfortunately he died before

this proposed venture.

Following his death, his family members are telling me that I am not entitled

to inherits his property (Assets and fund) because i am a woman and my offspring

is a female as well, according to some barbaric traditional laws here in Africa

which doesn't permit a woman to inherit a man's property, but I and my child

will be cratered for by the late husband family will take over the management

of his business and other properties. Unfortunately to this wicked family members,

the $17 million United States dollars which my late husband intended to use

in establishing a business in the United States?

This fund was deposited in a bank account unknown to his family .It is me and

the Manager of the bank is aware of this fund, so I have discussed this matter

with the Manager that I want this fund personally and he agreed based on some

compensation.

According to the Manager, the best way to secure this fund is to transfer it

to a foreign account outside BURKINA FASO for safe-keeping, later it will be

used for business establishment with your advice and assistance, which I will

also come over to your country. At this juncture, I needs your sincere assistance

in providing your bank account, so that this fund can be transferred into it

within (14) working days as soon as I hear your positive response, However,

I and the Manager has agreed to give you 30% of the fund as a reward for your

sincere assistance, the manager 10%,10% for the expenses and the remaining 50%

of the fund will be for me (I and my daughter).looking forward to hear good

response.
